On the day we arrived we decided to go on a little adventure before the arrival of the rest of the family from Hawaii. As we made our way to Japantown off of Geary Ave, we saw a hip & urban restaurant with the name DOSA on the corner of Fillmore. Could we be so lucky to find a South Indian fusion restaurant on a whim? Oh yes!
DOSA differs from other typical Indian restaurants in that they have a mission to provide food with the best local, organic and sustainable ingredients. The decor is magnificent and your won't be served on styrofoam with plastic forks.
Now on to our early afternoon snacks! We started off with complementary pappadams and chutney.
Dahi Batata Puri made with organic yogurt.
Dahi Vada
This is the most beautifully presented dish. A large savory vada (a lentil donut) is served with organic yogurt and spiced tamarind and cilantro sauces.
Paneer Dosa
We actually had 3 different dosas. A traditional masala dosa with potatoes, a cilantro mint dosa, and a paneer dosa pictured above. They all came with traditional sambar and chutney.DOSA will be on my definite list the next time we go to SF. Here's a video about the restaurant:
